quenches

But quenches -- the sudden, destructive events wherein a part of the material loses superconductivity -- are a major barrier to their deployment.

Berkeley Lab scientists have developed an approach to prevent quenches altogether, rather than simply trying to manage them after they occur.

In the new HTS materials, these unwanted heating events, known as "quenches," are particularly costly, as they can destroy the magnet, damage nearby components, and deplete significant volumes of the precious liquid coolants used to chill the magnet.

Listening to KGAY, he added, quenches “a desire for a sense of connection that was in person, that was live and public.”

There is, legitimately, no item on earth that quenches and refreshes like good ol' water — especially when you've eaten something especially heavy or you've accidentally eaten the equivalent of your body weight in candy.
